Bluing a Swedish Mauser bolt assembly?

[Ernest T]

I believe I read somewhere that the Swedes used a salt bluing process initially then started using Dulite hot bluing in the mid 50s. I'd go with a hot bluing process, but probably doesn't really matter with a repro rifle. I wouldn't spend much money on it myself. You could rust blue it yourself and come close with minimal cost.

Careful doing a nice rust blue, it'll turn out so nice you'll want to do the rest as well...
